are listed and traded on the Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchanges.  EQ's
principal business is serving as an investment holding company.

          The names of the directors and executive officers of Teribe,
Real and EQ are set forth on Schedules 1, 2 and 3 hereto, respectively,
which are incorporated herein by reference.  No person controls or shares
in the control of EQ who is not a member of its board of directors.


          (b)  The address of the principal office of Teribe and Real is
Craigmuir Chambers, P.O. Box 71, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin

                             Page 3 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>

          (e)  Neither Teribe nor, to the best of its knowledge, Real, EQ
or any of the directors or executive officers of Teribe, Real or EQ has
been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body
of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such individual was or is

securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

          (f)  The citizenship of each individual set forth in Item 2(a)
is set forth on Schedules 1, 2 and 3 hereto.

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR
          OTHER CONSIDERATION.

          Teribe acquired 335,000 Shares in the Company's initial public
offering in May 1995.  Teribe obtained the funds for the purchase of such
Shares entirely from its own resources.

          On August 31, 1995, Teribe acquired beneficial ownership of an
additional 336,442 Shares following the release of such Shares from a
management agreement and the distribution of such Shares to Teribe by two
entities (the "Direct Holders") in which Teribe has an ownership
interest.  Prior to such release and distribution, the 336,442 Shares (as
well as certain other Shares of the Company) were subject to a management
agreement with Three Cities Holding Limited (the "management company").
Pursuant to the management agreement, the management company had the sole
right to vote and dispose of such Shares.  On August 31, 1995, certain
Shares subject to the management agreement (including the 336,442 Shares
referred to above) were released from the management agreement for no
consideration and were distributed to the holders of such Shares.  Such
distribution included the distribution of the 336,442 Shares to the
Direct Holders.  Such entities subsequently distributed such Shares to
Teribe for no consideration.

          Teribe sold an aggregate of 131,442 Shares on various dates in
September, October and November 1995, reducing its beneficial ownership
following such sales to 540,000 Shares.

          In March 1996, and effective as of March 22, 1996, an
additional 119,795 Shares that were subject to the management agreement
and held by the Direct Holders were released from the management
agreement and distributed to Teribe for no consideration, increasing the
number of Shares beneficially owned by Teribe to 659,795 Shares.

          On June 14, 1996, an additional 157,843 Shares subject to the
management agreement and held by the Direct Holders were released from
the management agreement and distributed to Teribe for no consideration,
increasing the number of Shares beneficially owned by Teribe to 817,638
Shares.  As a result of a 2-for-1 stock split that was effected as of
June 14, 1996, Teribe beneficially owns 1,635,276 Shares.


ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

          The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares by Teribe in the
initial public offering was for investment.  Teribe acquired beneficial
ownership of the Shares distributed in August 1995, March 1996 and June

                             Page 4 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>

1996 for investment and for possible resale from time to time in open
market transactions as market conditions warrant.

          Except as described above, Teribe has no plans or proposals
which relate to or would result in:

          (a)  The acquisition by any person of additional securities of
the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company;

          (b)  An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries;

          (c)  A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries;

          (d)  Any change in the present board of directors or management
of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or
term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

          (e)  Any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of the Company;

          (f)  Any other material change in the Company's business or
corporate structure;

          (g)  Changes in the Company's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition
of control of the Company by any person;

          (h)  Causing a class of securities of the Company to be
delisted from a National Securities Exchange or to cease to be authorized
to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered National
Securities Association;

          (i)  A class of equity securities of the
Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

          (j)  Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.


ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          (a)  After giving effect to the distributions and stock split
described in Item 3, Teribe beneficially owns 1,635,276 (9.38%) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

          (b)  Teribe has the sole power to vote, direct the vote of,
dispose of or direct the disposition of any and all Shares held by
Teribe.

          (c)  Neither Teribe, nor to the best knowledge of Teribe, any
of the persons listed in Item 2(a) has effected any transaction in the
Common Stock of the Company within the past 60 days.

                             Page 5 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>

          (d)  Except as set forth in this Item 5, to the best knowledge
of Teribe, none of the persons named in Item 2(a) beneficially owns any
shares of Common Stock of the Company.  On the basis of its control,
through an intermediate holding company, of Teribe, the board of
directors of EQ may be deemed to have the ultimate power to direct the
voting or disposition, as well as the application of dividends from, or
the proceeds of the sale of, the Shares owned by Teribe.

          (e)  Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS
          OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES
          OF THE ISSUER.

          To the knowledge of Teribe, except as set forth in Items 3 and
5, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships
(legal or otherwise) among the persons named in response to Item 2 and
between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities
of the Company.
